He is not traveling as an official representative of the United States, and he is not carrying a message on behalf of the government of the United States.

The president expressed his regrets and apologized for the accident and said the United States would do all it can to be of assistance to the Japanese government and the Japanese people.

We know of no spectacle more ridiculous—or more contemptible—than that of the religious reactionaries who dare to re-write the history of our republic. Or who try to do so. Is it possible that, in their vanity and stupidity, they suppose that they can erase the name of Thomas Jefferson and replace it with the name...

The Indians, keeping to themselves, laughed at your superior methods and lived from the land more abundantly and with less labor than you did… And when your own people started deserting in order to live with them, it was too much… So you killed the Indians, tortured them, burned their villages, burned their cornfields… But...

No genuine revolutionary challenge to either the State or Capitalism in the United States can fail to ignore racism’s importance in maintaining the current system.

The people of the United States will do anything for Latin America, except read about it.

It’s certainly a major thoroughfare across the United States, and to have it disrupted is not good news for commerce,

I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind. I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the “isness” of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for...

The United States should be on the board, but there’s no rule. The chips fall where they may when you have these elections. It’s just a confluence of events that come together. Sometimes you can’t beat it. I was disappointed. I let down the U.S. by not being able to keep a place on there.

You can’t go wrong going with the United States and picking us as the favorites.

The warning I would like to make to the members of the august council is that the United States and the British were hoodwinked when they were told that the Iraqi people would receive them with flowers and hugs and ululations, and the children and the mothers will rejoice at the coming of the U.S....

Hamas is regularly described as ‘Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.’ One will be hard put to find something like ‘democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus’—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not...

I thought of a remark . . . that the United States is like a ‘gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.’ Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful.

We are shifting to an outright recession scenario in the United States, and, in response, we are slashing our forecast of the global economy for 2001,

We seek a peaceful relation with the United States, a cooperative relation, an equal relation.

In Montana, West Virginia, and the rest of the United States, coal is definitely the electricity source of the foreseeable future.

It is notorious that the news of the Emancipation Proclamation was kept from the people of Texas and not celebrated until ‘Juneteenth’. There may be those in Texas now who believe they can insulate their state—a state that had its own courageous revolution—from the news of evolution and from the writing in 1786 of a...

Americanism in all its forms seemed to be trashy and wasteful and crude, even brutal. There was a metaphor ready to hand in my native Hampshire. Until some time after the war, the squirrels of England had been red. I can still vaguely remember these sweet Beatrix Potter–type creatures, smaller and prettier and more agile...

They realize that when they blow up a pipeline in Iraq or in Sudan or anywhere in the world, this translates immediately into a price rise in all the markets. It is much easier for terrorists to blow up an oil facility or take out a tanker somewhere in the world than to infiltrate into...

We should check the large amount of air traffic and air cargo between the United States and Asia through Alaska. We should investigate each outbreak like a crime scene.

I know it’s a really hard concept to process, but the fact that Govt accuses someone of being a Terrorist doesn’t mean they are.

A great deal of what many Americans hold dear is nowhere written on those four pages of parchment, or in any of the amendments. What has made the Constitution durable is the same as what makes it demanding: the fact that so much was left out.

Detroit is just like everywhere else, only more so–a lot more so.

Lawyers in the United States have a central role, a visibility and prominence that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

They have a lot of good players that any team in the United States would be happy to add to their rosters.

More proof that Lynn is still meant to continue with the government programme occurred during the winter of 2000, when she was sitting at a cafeteria table at the area college. It was later in the afternoon when a few people congregated there with books spread out so they could study while drinking coffee or...

The United States only accepts reports that are favorable. It is not surprising it continues to ignore the U.N. whenever convenient.

When I first heard Bob Marley I was 12 years old. I had just come to the United States from Haiti, and was living in the Marlborough Houses in Brooklyn.

A handful of anti-China elements within the United States are going all out to interfere with and obstruct the normal development of China-U.S. relations,

I don’t think it is correct for Israel to act alone on a matter that really disturbs and engages the enlightened countries of the world, lead by the United States. If we feel that we are facing an imminent threat, Israel has the real insights and a bit of experience on how to deal with...

This is also about niche marketing. There is business in the United States. If everybody moves out their heavy maintenance, when somebody needs it immediately, you can charge a good price.

Don’t write in to ask whether I would prefer Gingrich to Clinton. Ask, rather, whether Clinton prefers Gingrich to you. Go triangulate yourself.

I can see why people find him [Hugo Chávez] charming. He’s very ebullient, as they say. I’ve heard him make a speech, though, and he has a vice that’s always very well worth noticing because it’s always a bad sign: he doesn’t know when to sit down. He’s worse than Castro was. He won’t shut...

The New START accord cuts the strategic nuclear arsenals on each side to 1,550 warheads. Can any of its critics make a case that our security would be imperiled if, the very next day, Obama and Medvedev made moves to take the levels down to 1,000—then to 500?If so, come show us the math. If...

We speak in the same voice with the United States because Washington, too, is interested to stop the spiraling of tension and normalizing the situation in the region. It is important not only that we speak in the same voice but that we also act in coordination with one another, which Russia is in favor...

The Fed’s cutting rates more than other banks are cutting rates, the United States is cutting taxes more than other governments are able to and is getting more stimulus from defense spending, … We won’t see an upswing in the global economy until 2003. The United States will do better before then.

Maybe sometime, but not now. George Bush is not ready to be president of the United States.

Especially under the current complicated and sensitive situation across the Taiwan Strait, we ask the United States to be faithful to what it says and abide by its promises and not send the wrong signal to Taiwan’s independence (seekers).

It has all paid off for I have been all over the United States and the world and have a lifetime of experience that I would not already have,

When you’re in the presence of the president of the United States … you’re likely to pull your punches to some degree.

There’s no way this woman is qualified for the United States Supreme Court,

I have a map of the United States… Actual size. It says, ‘Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.’ I spent last summer folding it. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, ‘E6.

Never has America lost a war … But name, if you can, the last peace the United States won. Victory yes, but this country has never made a successful peace because peace requires exchanging ideas, concepts, thoughts, and recognizing the fact that two distinct systems of life can exist together without conflict. Consider how quickly...

This issue is something between Mexico and Venezuela. It’s not something that you need to drag the United States in.

In terms of the number of arrests and seizures, I believe this is one of our (the United States’) most significant investigations involving counterfeit products.

The United States finds itself with forces of reaction. Do I have to demonstrate this? The Taliban’s annihilation of music and culture? The enslavement of women?

Energy and fuel prices continue to rise, triggering fuel consumption concerns in the United States.

I wish I could grow swords like I can roses. Wouldn’t war be so romantic then? Then the U.S. could really show the world how much it loves it.

The term propaganda rings melodramatic and exaggerated, but a press that—whether from fear, careerism, or conviction—uncritically recites false government claims and reports them as fact, or treats elected officials with a reverence reserved for royalty, cannot be accurately described as engaged in any other function.

Historically, investigations of mine disasters in the United States have never involved the families of the victims. That era ends today.
